This week we’re joined by San Francisco based theatrical rock and roll powerhouse, Kat Robichaud. Drawing on the momentum of her top 10 spot on NBC’s The Voice as well as almost a decade of experience in the music industry, Kat has released her latest album “Kat Robichaud and the Darling Misfits” in early 2015. As well as the usual topics of love and heartbreak, Kat is unafraid to tackle the issue of gender inequality in her music, and that’s just one of the many reasons we love her. In this interview, we hear all about Kat's experience on The Voice, her love for Marilyn Manson, and we all agree how much we dislike sports.Highlights:- Kat tells us why she decided to audition for The Voice- We talk about the audition process and Kat tells us how she was terrified by it- Marcio shares a story about kissing another girl in front of his girlfriend in high school (it’s not as bad as it sounds…)- We chat about Kat’s awesome new album, Kat Robichaud and the Darling Misfits- One of our listeners has a question for Kat: who are The Darling Misfits?
